Boutrus: "My demands involve ten important issues. Let's
call it tendemands. The first demand... They
are not for my sake, but for the sake of
truth, belief, and Jesus. First, striking out all the Koranic verses
thatdeny the divinity of Jesus and the
revelation of God in him. Second,
acknowledging that Jesus is the spirit and word of God, as they trulybelieve, without hiding this fact. Third, striking out the
Koranic versesand hadiths that incite to kill
Christians, like in the Al-Tawba chapter,
v.29: 'Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in Judgment Day, nor
dothey prohibit what Allah and His messenger
have prohibited, nor do they
follow the religion of truth' - that is, Islam. Among whom? 'Among thePeople of the Book.'
